General information

The ASRAD-R (Advanced Short Range Air Defence System - RBS) is a short range air defence system designed between Rheinmetall and Saab Bofors Dynamics for use in different vehicles. This configuration is mounted in the American M113 APC. The system can use a 3D AESA air search radar with a range of up to 20 km or an infrared search and track (IRST) system, depending on the needs of the customer. Compared to older air defence systems developed in Sweden, the ASRAD uses an unmanned launcher high above the rest of the vehicle, which allows the rest of the hull to stay hidden or buried in defensive positions. The missile employed by the launcher is the RBS-70 (Bolide) that uses a laser beam guidance system. The missile is also designed to be capable of intercepting cruise missiles. Each battery of ASRAD-R systems also equips 4 RBS 70 MANPADS launchers.

Introduced in Update "Hot Tracks", the ASRAD-R features a good number of improvements over the Lvrbv 701. The launcher array is now unmanned and located higher above the ground, which allows for the hull to remain in cover while still being effective in all directions thanks to the increased horizontal traverse angles. With access to 8 long-range supersonic missiles, the ASRAD-R proves to be quite deadly, especially against enemy helicopters. Compared to many air defence systems, the ASRAD-R comes with the benefit of having multipurpose missiles: because they are laser beam guided, and they have HEAT warheads, they can be used with some success against enemy ground units, its penetration values are not the greatest, but are enough to go trough the thin armour found in light tanks, APCs, IFVs and other lightly armoured targets, however it would struggle to go trough the thicker armour of MBTs, even from the sides.
